How to Test the Moisture Permeability of Sanitary Towel?

Product catalog summary
Abstract: The document discusses the moisture permeability of sanitary towel substrate materials, which directly affects comfort. It introduces a Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) test using the cup method on films from two manufacturers, utilizing the C360M Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System.
1. Significance: The comfort and gas permeability of sanitary towels are crucial for manufacturers and consumers. Key comfort indicators include liquid absorption, quick-drying, and breathability, which vary by material. Sanitary towels typically have three layers: a surface layer for quick liquid transfer, an absorbent layer to prevent liquid backflow, and a breathable bottom layer to prevent leakage.
2. Test Specimen: The test specimens are substrate materials from two different manufacturers.
3. Test Standard: The cup method, as per ASTM E96, was chosen due to the high water vapor transmission rate of the specimens.
4. Testing Instrument: The C360M Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System by Labthink Instruments is used. It employs the gravimetric method, analyzing weight changes over time. The system supports various test methods and conforms to multiple international standards.
5. Test Procedures: Specimens are cut, placed in test cups with distilled water, and sealed. The test cups are then placed in the test chamber, and parameters are set before starting the test. Results are displayed automatically.
6. Test Result: The WVTRs for the two samples were 601.4813 g/(m2·24h) and 1384.0073 g/(m2·24h), indicating significant differences in moisture permeability.
7. Conclusion: Moisture permeability is crucial for the comfort and quick-drying ability of sanitary towels. The test results show significant differences in permeability between the two samples, affecting breathability. The testing instrument is efficient, easy to operate, and provides reliable results.
Company Information: Labthink Instruments Co., Ltd specializes in packaging testing instruments and services, with a focus on reliability and accuracy.

How to Test the Moisture Permeability of Sanitary Towel? Abstract The moisture permeability of sanitary towel substrate material influences its comfort directly. This article introduces a WVTR test of two sanitary towel substrate films from two manufacturers using cup method, including test principle, testing instrument C360M Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System and its features Key Words Moisture Permeability, Water Vapor Transmission Rate, Cup Method, Gravimetric Method, Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System, Sanitary Towel, Substrate Material, Substrate Film 1. Significance Comfort and gas permeability of sanitary towel are two of the key research subjects for manufacturers, also selling points that may attract consumers. The main indicators of the sanitary towel’s comfort include the ability to absorb and block the liquid, quick-drying and breathability. Those properties vary by different materials of sanitary towels. Generally speaking, the structure of the sanitary towels has mainly three layers: the surface layer, the absorbent layer, and the bottom layer. The surface layer is made of non-woven fabrics or perforated films, and it can quickly lead the liquid to the absorption layer so as to keep the surface dry. The absorbent layer is made of fluff pulp or water-absorbing polymer material, which absorbs liquid and prevents the liquid from flowing back. The bottom layer is mainly made of breathable PE material to ensure its breathability while preventing leakage. In this article, the moisture permeability of the substrate materials is discussed. 2. Test Specimen The test specimens are the substrate materials of the sanitary towels from two manufacturers. 3. Test Standard Currently four WVTR test methods are widely used, i.e. cup method, infrared sensor method, electrolytic sensor method and humidity sensor method. Considering the high water vapor transmission rate of the test specimens, cup method was used in the test according to ASTM E96, Standard Test Methods for Water Vapor Transmission of Materials 4.

the WVTRs of the two samples are 601.4813 g/(m2·24h)and 1384.0073 g/(m2·24h). 7. Conclusion Sanitary towel substrate material’s moisture permeability is the key factor that influences its comfort and quick-drying ability. It can be concluded from the test results that the two samples have quite different moisture permeability. The difference in moisture permeability will affect the breathability of the sanitary towel. The testing instrument tested 2 samples at a time, greatly improves the testing efficiency. The testing instrument is easy to operate and provides reliable and accurate test results....
